...determined to keep the Benson burden on Nixon's back. In a speech at Monticello, Iowa last week, Lyndon Johnson reminded his audience that Nixon once called Benson "one of the best Secretaries of Agriculture in our history." Benson's "chief helpers" in aggravating the farm problem, Johnson insisted, were President Eisenhower and Vice President Nixon...
...sigh for some way to negotiate an end to the cold war leaned to the Democrats; those that believe in the tough line felt better on the side of the Republicans. Formosa's daily Lien Ho Jih Pao suspected that "Senator Kennedy is not mature on the China problem." Many Turks seemed to agree with an Ankara businessman who said: "Nixon was willing to stand up to the Russians, but we don't know anything about Kennedy." In Britain and the Scandinavian countries, where nostalgia for Adlai Stevenson remains high, much sentiment favored the Democrats. They...
Belgium is undoubtedly in the most trying position of anyone in this business, and she is evidently, feeling the pinch. W. W.

Privately, they admit such confiscations would be only a drop in the bucket. They would like to have the U.S. foot the bill...
...will be used primarily to explore the intimate nature of matter-a problem that seems to grow more baffling as its outermost fringes are explored. Brookhaven's 30-Bev protons will be shot against other protons, eventually in an 80-in. liquid-hydrogen bubble chamber, the world's largest, which is now being designed. Out of the proton-proton collision will come a weird menagerie of short-lived particles. Many of them will be new to science, and they are almost certain to have properties that no one can imagine today. AGS will reach a long way into...
